A Fishing Guide for Beginners

Are you new to fishing? Unaware of where to purchase your fishing gear, with no experience or resources to get started with the activity? Well, worry no more as it is simpler than it looks. 

Fishing in an entirely exciting experience. First, you need to identify the fish types available and the regulations for catching, keeping and releasing fish in your preferred area. 

How to Get Started

To simplify the activity, here are the basics for your first time fishing adventure. 

Some of the gear you will need include:

A fishing pole (preferably a suitable style for the fishing type you will be doing),

Spinning rods and reels,

A fishing line, hooks (however, remember that the larger the fish, the longer the hook needed),

Fishing lures (it is recommended to have some of these even if you will be using live baits),

Bobbers or sinkers and a tackle box with some ice for storage. 

You also need to grasp a few of the fishing terms like:

Saltwater fishing grounds: these are areas with high salinity content such as oceans.

Freshwaters: these include all freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds.

Pound Test: the strength of your fishing line. However, for the first time experience, it is recommended to hire a professional to guide you in the actual encounter as well as to show you some of the best local fishing spots.

Learn to Fish

1. How to fish with a bait

Tackle: Lead weights are the best for plunking the baits. Despite, you should change them depending on the current of the environment. Anglers can be used together with a swivel to prevent the sinkers from drowning. Besides, you can use plastic beads between the swivel and the weight from sliding or use two appropriate casters and rig the sliding sinkers.

Bait: Worms and chicken liver are the most commonly used fishing baits. Nonetheless, it is essential to purchase fresh baits and keep them cold to prevent them from softening and slipping off the hooks. Some other commonly used baits include; a fried chicken skin, grasshoppers, fish entrails, shrimps, salmon eggs, and crayfish tails.

2. Fishing methods

Plunking: It is the most common method; however, you are required to hold your bait in a position contrary to the direction of the current. A suitable amount of weight is ideal for this approach. Or rather, allow a minimum weight for the bait to move along with the flow.

Back bouncing: This is done by freeing the reel or spool to move with the current. Back bouncing is efficient in deeper water fishing.

Drift-fishing: For this method, you should estimate the appropriate depth, then start reeling. It is relatively easier than the other ways depending on the current's strength.

3. Fishing from a boat

For this method, you need denser jig heads in deep water fishing as compared to the coastal fisheries.

Conclusion

Finally, do not speculate on problems; instead, use the above simple tips for your first time fishing adventure, and it will be memorable. Remember, fishing is easy so long as you’re enjoying the activity; therefore, ensure to bring a friend with you or a family member to keep you company while you learn.
